2022 Ringgold Creek Regatta
Saturday, July 23rd, 9a-1p (ish)

LIFT Youth Center Inc is excited to invite our community to attend The (2nd Annual) Ringgold Creek Regatta! It is going to be a fun morning of paddling/floating along the South Chickamauga Creek through Ringgold. We will start at the Canoe Launch by the Ringgold Nature Trail and float for a couple of hours to the launch behind Ringgold High School. We are encouraging BOATS, but ANY flotation device will work! So you may have a real boat OR you may have an inner tube or a unicorn float! You may want to float individually or create a group float of some sort. There will be Awards for Fastest Float, Slowest Float, Most Creative Float, Most Beautiful Float, etc! This is a community event and we hope lots of folks and families will join us. We'll have some lifeguards on the water with us and some awesome Catoosa County Fire Department Firefighters will help keep us safe AND grill the dogs!

***This year the first 100 folks to check-in will get a Ringgold Creek Regatta Tank-top! Sizes available on a first come, first serve basis!***
